Though I agree San Antonio and Ft. Worth should be in the discussion. In my opinion there's nothing anywhere in Texas that even comes close to Austin during SXSW or ACL. And don't let Halloween fall on a Friday or Saturday...

No city does Halloween Like Dallas...The "Halloween On Cedar Springs" event every year simply can't be matched.

Like i said, Dallas is slightly ahead in about three categories, but then again Houston is ahead in all the rest with some areas not even close.

Face it dude Dallas has the worst downtown.

Houston and Austin have the most to offer
Fort Worth and SA have that charm
Dallas comes in next

I think some of the small towns in Texas have the best downtowns. You know the ones with the the
pretty town square and the old buildings all around with nice shops and restaurants.
